1. 3/5

   Svenskar skjuter också upp raketer!

   Jag har sysslat med modellraketer ett tag. Tyckte det skulle vara roligt att köpa en bok om ämnet. Boken har varit hjälpsam. Mycket är väldigt basic. Fast det finns något för alla i boken. Aerodynamikavsnittet är bra. Det märks dock att den är skriven i amerikansk stil, något mer kompakt kunde boken varit.
